Abstract: A diaphragm valve includes: a valve main body having formed therein a valve chamber, and an inflow passage and an outflow passage being in communication with the valve chamber; an annular valve seat formed in the valve chamber; a diaphragm contacting and separating from the valve seat; and a drive unit driving the diaphragm. The drive unit has a drive unit housing attached to the valve main body so that an outer peripheral edge portion of the diaphragm is sandwiched between the valve main body and the drive unit housing, and the drive unit housing is formed of an electroconductive fluorine resin material.

Abstract: A chromium weld material comprising chromium as a main component and either one of or an appropriate combination of elements selected from the group IVb metals of the periodic table, Al, metals belonging to the groups VIIb, VIII, and Ib of the periodic table, Nb, and Ta and, if desired, at least one of rare earth elements, a chromium rolled article comprising chromium as a main component and either one of or an appropriate combination of elements selected from Al, Ti, Zr, Hf, Y, rare earth elements, and elements belonging to the groups Vb, VIb, and VIIb of the periodic table, and a process for producing said rolled article by cross-rolling under specific temperature and output rate conditions are disclosed. The weld material provides a weld free from deterioration of mechanical characteristics. The rolled article exhibits excellent tensile characteristics. The process provides a rolled sheet of small thickness without causing craking.

Abstract: A bonding composition comprising a metal oxide melt comprising (a) CaO, (b) SiO.sub.2 and/or Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, and (c) a metal oxide selected from TiO.sub.2, ZrO.sub.2, Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3, HfO.sub.2, Nb.sub.2 O.sub.3 and Ta.sub.2 O.sub.5 is melt-bonded on the surface of a ceramic material, and the ceramic material is bonded to an adherent, if necessary through at least one layer selected from a plating layer, a solder layer, and a buffer layer. In this manner, a strong bonding can be very easily obtained.
